The CMR document is more than a consignment note, it's a contract between the consignor and the haulier and if you look at the required fields you'll see that it has to be signed by both parties to be valid. Euro customs used to love fining drivers for it not being completed correctly, easy money. One of the most relevant points of CMR is that it limits the haulier's liability, last time I looked the liability was less than £1500 per tonne or volumetric equivalent (my recall on this is poor but I think 1 tonne = 1.5 cu m). Whatever, the concern here is that if you allow a car to ship using CMR and the car suffers loss or damage then you might be looking at a huge underpayment from the haulier's insurers. I would advise always having your own all risk and marine cover when sending race kit abroad.
